Socialist Party of Serbia

The Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) is a socialist political party in Serbia, founded on 17 July 1990 as a successor to the League of Communists of Serbia, which was disbanded after the fall of Yugoslavia. The party adopted Serbian nationalist policies, as its leader Slobodan Milosevic advocated "ethnic cleansing" in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo during the Post-Communist Wars of the 1990s. In 2016, the party held 21/250 National Assembly seats, 8/120 Assembly of Vojvodina seats, and 11/110 Belgrade City Assembly seats.
